Chapter 857: Treasure
Mao Wenlong listened to Chongzhen praise himself, he was not modest at all, and he was very useful. After all, his predecessor was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a great honor to be able to be praised by Chongzhen like this.
But Mao Wenlong has other thoughts in his heart, and he came to meet Chongzhen this time, not to catch up with the past. The politeness was enough, Mao Wenlong gave Chongzhen a look and motioned for him to go outside to talk.
Chongzhen was obviously prepared in his heart, he chuckled twice, and left with Mao Wenlong. Hong Chengchou naturally understood that he did not follow, and left alone and continued to drink sullen wine.
Mao Wenlong and Chongzhen came to the small garden downstairs, under a big tree, Mao Wenlong stopped, turned to look at Chongzhen, and said with a smile: "Sir, Mao has another thing to do this time that needs your help." ”
Chongzhen hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Chief soldier, please say, as long as the old man does what he can, he will definitely not shirk." ”
Seeing that Chongzhen said seriously, Mao Wenlong felt a little more relaxed. He paused for a moment, and then spoke: "The Ming Dynasty is indeed unified now, but Mr. may not know that there are still many enemies at sea. And these enemies need to be paid enough attention to, otherwise the scourge of the Japanese will be even greater in the future than those of the previous ones. In a word, there are endless troubles. ”
Hearing this, Chongzhen frowned, he had never paid attention to things at sea. To put it bluntly, he can't take care of things on land. Where do you still have the heart to care about the sea, but he has heard about the Japanese Kou, which is indeed a scourge that cannot be ignored.
Having said so much, Chongzhen at this moment still didn't understand what it was for. Now he is too lazy to guess, he has not experienced the intrigue in the court for a long time, and he will begin to hate the life before.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen said bluntly: "If the chief soldier has anything to say, you might as well speak up." ”
Mao Wenlong was not hypocritical, and he laughed twice and said embarrassedly: "Sir should know that in order to resist foreign enemies, it is necessary to build a strong army." And the navy is inevitably needed, and this Ming Dynasty has just been unified, and money and food are being used everywhere. At this time, Mao really can't come up with so much money, see if you have ...... here?"
Chongzhen interrupted Mao Wenlong suddenly, and he said with a cold face: "Is the chief soldier trying to ask the old man for money and food?" ”
Mao Wenlong smiled embarrassedly again: "That's exactly what I mean." ”
Chongzhen snorted coldly: "Does the chief soldier think that the old man still has money and food for you to use?" ”
Mao Wenlong responded directly: "No." ”
Chongzhen's face was even more gloomy: "Then you still ask the old man for it." ”
Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Mr. himself doesn't have it, but maybe there is one somewhere else." ”
Chongzhen's brows were deeply locked, and his cold eyes stared at Mao Wenlong, but he didn't speak.
Mao Wenlong didn't care, he looked at Chongzhen, his eyes were full of confidence. He always firmly believed that Chongzhen must still have a private treasure, otherwise he, the emperor, would not be so leisurely.
And according to Mao Wenlong's knowledge, Chongzhen is now cultivating a mysterious organization, which is scattered all over the country to collect all kinds of information for Chongzhen. If Chongzhen didn't have enough money and food, how could he support such a huge organization?
Based on this alone, Mao Wenlong can already be sure that Chongzhen still has hidden secrets. That's why he traveled all the way to dismantle Chongzhen's organization and get to that mysterious treasure.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Chongzhen compromised, he knew it. Mao Wenlong has already seen through his own thoughts, and the confident eyes from beginning to end are telling Chongzhen that everything must be taken out, otherwise Mao Wenlong will not give up.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's luck had dissipated, and then he sighed lightly: "How do you know that the old man still has some money?" ”
Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard this: "Sir, that huge organization is the biggest flaw. ”
Chongzhen suddenly nodded and said, "I see! ”
After thousands of calculations, Chongzhen just didn't calculate that things were so simple. He has been careful to organize this mysterious organization from the beginning to prevent it from being detected by Mao Wenlong. But when the entire organization is large to a certain extent, it is impossible to hide Mao Wenlong anymore.
"Well, now that the Ming Dynasty has dominated the country, it's time for the old man to really live in seclusion in the mountains and forests."
Chongzhen paused, looked at Mao Wenlong and said seriously: "The treasure will be written to you in the future, and as for that organization, the old man will disband them as soon as possible." ”
Mao Wenlong frowned after hearing this: "Why do you want to disband?" Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good organization was disbanded like this? ”
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The chief soldier wants to take over this organization? ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Chongzhen asked again: "Aren't you afraid that they can't be trusted?" ”
Mao Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "This is not to worry about Mr. Lao, Mao actually wants to take over, so naturally there is a way to control them." ”
Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, then said with relief: "Since this is the case, then it is decided." ”
Mao Wenlong laughed, thanked Chongzhen, and then returned to the banquet in the small wooden building with him, and continued to drink and chat.
The three of them were at the same table, only Hong Chengchou was depressed on his face, and this time he came with him, just hoping to know more secrets. But now it seems that his wish is only in vain, and people simply avoid him to talk about things.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou also spent the night here in Chongzhen. And Chongzhen had a long talk with Mao Wenlong that night.
No one knew what the two were talking about, and they were very happy when they separated.
Early the next morning, Mao Wenlong said goodbye and left, and when he went down the mountain, he was in a good mood, and he didn't forget to hum an unknown song after enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Chongzhen stood on the small building, watching Mao Wenlong and the others leave, with a little silence in his eyes. Behind him is Princess Changping, who has never appeared, and she is also looking at Mao Wenlong's back at the moment, and there is no expression on her pretty face.
Chongzhen suddenly turned to look at Princess Changping, and only after a moment did he speak: "Still worried about her in my heart?" ”
Princess Changping was puzzled for a while, and then shook her head firmly: "My daughter doesn't have this mind, and in the future, my daughter just wants to stay with her master and her father." ”
Chongzhen glanced at his daughter again, then let out a soft sigh and turned to leave.
Princess Changping glanced at Mao Wenlong's back again, and then followed Chongzhen's footsteps and left. The small wooden building was calm again.
